£17.04
Beautiful perfume with blackberry, blueberry and middle eastern saffron spice on the nose Dusty, earthy aromas give way to layers of aniseed and black olive The palate beautifully follows the nose; mouth filling, generous, and not overtly sweet One to cellar for many moons From the first declared vintage in 1928, d'Arenberg fortified wines have been Shiraz based, and the vines that produced the original vintage still provide the grapes for this wine These old vines are stumpy, gnarled and deep rooted, distinguished by their small bunches of highly coloured and intensely flavoured grapes
Meinert Pinotage 'Printer's Ink' 2019 75cl
£16.36
This is a fabulous Pinotage - one of the best we have ever tasted, including examples that cost considerably more than this Pinotage is Pinot Noir crossed with Cinsault, and this wine tastes exactly like that - it has the beautiful hedgerow fruit of Pinot Noir, seasoned with the liquorice and star anise spice of Cinsault Caressing the palate with Pinot's seductive silky softness, it has just a touch more roundness and body A succulent wine with beautiful balance and no hard edges Martin Meinert explained that the 'burnt rubber' flavour associated with Pinotage is in fact the taste of careless winemaking, to which this grape variety is highly sensitive By taking meticulous care of the fruit from picking all the way through the winemaking process, Meinert ensures that we get to experience its true - delicious - character The Printer's Ink name is a tribute to the Meinert family's heritage as master printers in Namibia
